Abstract: 20,719. Bacon, R. H. S., and Redpath, R. Sept. 13. Liquid - pressure engines.-Relates to control devices for variable-speed hydraulic motors for working gun mountings, of the kind described in. Specification 25,913/11, [Class 92 (i), Ordnance &c. mountings] (with reference to Figs. 1, 4, 5, and 6), and consists in the combination therewith of a device, arranged between the controlling hand-wheel and the displaceable member regulating the speed of the motor, whereby a larger movement of the controlling hand-wheel or lever is necessary to effect a certain variation in speed at starting than is required when the displaceable member is at a distance from its zero position. A supplementary actuating-device is provided for moving the displaceable-member quickly to its extreme positions. Fig. 1 is a side elevation showing the control apparatus of a training motor. The handwheel t operates a sliding rack t<7> in the manner described in the prior Specification. The rack has a cam-groove g, which is engaged by a roller g<1> on a lever l connected by a sliding bar l<1> and links to the displaceable control member. The groove is so shaped that the lever receives different amounts of motion for the same motion of the hand-wheel according to the position of the rack t<7>, and hence of the displaceable member. A single or doublehanded lever h is connected to the rack t<7> by a quadrant q, so that the rack may be moved quickly to its extreme positions when required.

Granted: 1914-09-24
Abstract: 22,473. Palmer, J. T. Oct. 6. Contents, delivering.-Relates to mechanism for partly ejecting the fowermost of a series of packets &c. containing needles, seeds, powders, medicines, &c. arranged in a cabinet in one or more columns. In one form, a push-rod 12, Fig. 3, is acted upon by a spring 13, and carries a rack 15 adapted, when the rod is pushed inwards, to engage a pinion 11<a> fast on a spindle carrying disks or rollers 9; these disks &c. have roughened or toothed peripheries, which engage the lowermost article of a series 4 supported on a false bottom 5, and move it through an opening 6 in the case. The rack is held in engagement with the pinion by means of a foot 14 adapted to ride up .and along a pivoted guide 17. On releasing the push-rod, the foot passes beneath the guide, and the rack and pinion are kept out of engagement through the action of the spring 13. In a modification, a pull-out slide 25, Fig. 4, is acted upon hy a spring 28, and has teeth 26 adapted to engage the lowermost article, and trunnions 27 adapted, when the slide is drawn out, to move along and over a fixed or pivoted guide 29. On releasing the rod, the trunnions 27 pass beneath the guide and the teeth are moved out of engagement with the lowermost article. According to the Provisional Specification, the ejecting means may consist of one or more levers &c. pivoted on a pin or rod passing through each compartment and adapted to engage the rear edge of the lowermost packet; in a modification, the ejecting means may consist of a slide having one or more humps, undulations, or cam-faces adapted to ride over rollers to cause the slide to rise into contact with the underside of the packet.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Submarine Mines.
Inventor: SENFFTLEBEN HARRY
IPC: F42C14/04
Filed: 1913-10-17
Granted: 1914-03-26
Abstract: 23,504. Senfftleben, A. Oct. 17. Mines, marine.-Relates to submarine mines of the kind in which the explosive charge is supported by a float until the mine is subjected to a shock, when the charge is released from the float and falls, and the hammer of the fuse is thereby cocked and released. According to this invention, the explosive charge is suspended within and completely enclosed in the interior of the float. As shown in Fig. 1, the charge 7 is suspended within the float 1 by rods 3 which engage beneath a ball 5 fixed to the charge 7, and the trigger 13 of the spring hammer 9 is attached to the float by a rope 15 which passes through the ball 5. The charge 7 is also connected to the float by slack ropes 8 to prevent excessive lateral displacement of the charge. The centre of gravity is made to be above the centre of buoyancy so that before mooring, or if the mine breaks away from its mooring, the mine turns upside down and is disarmed. For additional safety, the charge 7 may be held up by a spring rod 21, which is drawn down and releases the charge when subjected to the pull of the anchor cable attached to it at 20. The rods 3 are held in place by antenna 2 until the latter are broken by a shock with a passing ship. The charge 7 then falls, while the hammer is being cocked, until the ball 5 abuts against the trigger and deflects it; the hammer then fires the fuse.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Damping Hosiery, Fabrics and the like.
Inventor: ABELL JOHN HENRY
IPC: D06B1/00
Filed: 1913-11-06
Granted: 1914-09-24
Abstract: 25,345. Abell, J. H. Nov. 6. Travelling-band type. - Hosiery, fabrics, &c. are damped bv being squeezed between adjacent moistened endless cloths or aprons, which are suitably substantially horizontal, by means of one or more pairs of pressing-rollers. The under apron 16 travels from the feed-end F of the machine between pairs of pressure rollers 5, 6 to the delivery-end D, where it passes down over a guide-roller 17 to a pair of damping-rollers 19, 20, between which it travels. The lower damping-roller 20, in fixed bearings, dips into a water trough 21, while the upper roller 19 is carried in sliding bearings 38 which can be adjusted, by means of a screw 42, to control the amount of water taken up by the cloth 16. From the damping - device, the cloth 16 passes over a tensioning - roller 26 carried in screw-adjusted sliding bearings 28, and thence over two further guide-rollers 35, 18, beneath the second of which 18 is placed a trough 44 to catch any moisture that may run down the inclined part 45 of the cloth 16. The upper cloth 15<a>, preferably not extending so far at either end as the lower one 16, is carried on the upper rollers 5 of the pairs of presserrollers; it also is provided with a tensioning- device consisting of an adjustable roller 25 carried on an adjustably-weighted pivoted lever 27, and with a damping-device 22, 23, 24, 39, 43. The moistening-troughs 21, 24 may be independently supplied with water, but, preferably, the lower 21 is fed through an overflow pipe 36 from the upper 24. The tensioning- rollers 25, 26 are adapted to be adjusted independently at opposite ends so that the bands 15<a>, 16 may run true. The lower members 6 of the pairs of pressure rollers, carried in fixed bearings 3, are suitably driven from a main shaft 10, the first roller being driven through gearing 12, 13, and the second and third by chains 14, 15. The upper pressure rollers 5, frictiondriven through the cloths 16, 15<a> from the lower one 6, are carried in sliding bearings 2 provided with adjustable weight, lever, and link pressure devices 47, 7, 8, 9, or with spring pressure devices. The successive pairs of presser-rollers 5, 6, from the feed-end F, are preferably slightly increased in diameter, while all rotate with the same angular velocity, so as to keep the cloths tight between one pair of rollers and the next. In operation, the goods to be moistened are laid upon the inclined part 45 of the lower cloth 16 and are then carried through the successive pairs of pressure rollers 5, 6 between the suitably moistened co-operating aprons or cloths 15<a>, 16. At the delivery end D of the machine, the goods may be removed from the horizontal extension run 16<a> of the lower apron 16, or allowed to drop into a skep &c. as the apron passes round the end guideroller 17, or passed on to a shoot or carrier.
